WHO NEEDS TO CHECK IN BESIDES COMPETITORS? ALL media, coaches, judges and volunteers must check-in at registration (esp if they’re wanting access to be on course – which we limit for safety/liability reasons). You must also sign-in AND sign necessary waivers if not a current USASA Member/Coach/Judge/Official already, AS WELL AS sign a Mt. Bachelor waiver (unless you have a current pass).
Our slopestyle events will be located in the Events Arena (skier’s left or looker’s right) of the Pine Martin lift, and registration will be at the main lodge (West Village Lodge), usually downstairs in the Caldera area (look for signage), but sometimes upstairs…so keep up in the Facebook Events by saying “Going.”
